A lot of the times, new business pop up and their owners are so excited about this new venture that they think they need to see quick growth on social media. This mindset may lead them to make some rash decisions such as buying followers or spending too much on ads. And it may look impressive to investors to have gained over 1,000 followers in under a month, but savvy investors know there's more to it than that. And the day-to-day consumer probably won't even pay attention.

Let's get this out of the way right at the front: Do not buy followers. No one knows for sure, but it's estimated that about 15% of social media accounts are bots. That's 15% of about 3 billion. So, if you had every bot on Twitter following you, it would bring your follower count up to about 450 million. Sounds impressive, right? It does right up until you realize that bots aren't buying your products or telling any real people about you. You could make the case that the high number of foll…

So, the Enterprise picks up a distress signal from a nearby planet. Most of it is garbled, but what they can pick up is a signal that hasn't be used for hundreds of years transmitting the word "Terratin". Based on that alone, they go in orbit of a planet and the planet shoots out a beam of light that paralyzes them and peels their dilithium crystals like the skin of an orange. Lucky for them, the planet below is lousy with dilithium.
All well and good so far, right? Well, let us discuss how poorly they treat the rest of the story. The beam of radiation, as it turns out, diminishes the amount of space between the molecules in their body, thus slowly making them tiny, but, as Bones explicitly states, retaining their original weight. Supposedly, all organic matter is shrinking at the same rate, including the fibers of their clothing. So, when before they know all this Kirk turns to Spock and asks if he's slouching, it doesn't make any sense because they would both still be the same height relative to each other.

"It looked for a moment as though you were going down on me."

Everyone gets smaller and smaller until they have to start crawling around on the consoles to reach the buttons. Which, since they are the same weight concentrated on the tiny point of their feet, should make dents in the consoles, but it doesn't. Spock starts having trouble pushing the buttons, but his hands are still the same weight as before - he should be able to just rest lightly on them. People start falling over and leaving no trace of a dent on the floor. Tiny wooden ladders are able to hold them when they likely wouldn't hold a cat of normal density. Basically what I'm saying here is no one ever does miniaturization right.

Eventually Kirk beams down to the surface of the planet with the goal of finding some dilithium or some help. What he finds is that the transporter puts all his molecules back in the right spot and makes him normal sized again.The planet, however, is erupting with lava everywhere. And before the automatic beam-up takes place, he sees a tiny city. When he's back on the Enterprise, his goal is to contact that city. When he does, he finds that they not only have some of the crew, but a plethora of dilithium crystals to bring back up.

Group pose!

Turns out this little city used to be a settlement from Earth named Terra-10, but over the years the pronunciation got garbled. The natural radiation on the planet makes people tiny, so they've pretty much adapted to it. And when people came looking for the settlement, they were too tiny to find. With that exposition out of the way, the crew beams back up, becomes regular sized, replaces their dilithium crystals, saves Terratin from the volcanic planet and goes on their way. Just another day in space.

Overall Thoughts
I just can't get over how terribly they handled miniaturization. Even while recognizing they're the same weight, they seemed to completely forget in the next scene. Deep Space 9 handled miniaturization better than this, and that's saying something.

It's been a week since I posted about my intention to start a coworking space. In that time I've done a lot of thinking, a lot of lusting over empty lots, and a little bit of meeting with people who know things. Friday I took a meeting with Ken Evans and Christopher McElveen, two people who have been at the center of the entrepreneurial and coworking communities in Tampa for many years now. We went across the street from my apartment to Armature Works, I grabbed a coffee cola from Commune Coffee and we sat inside in plain view of the doorway to Bay 3, the newest coworking space to pop up in the area.

We talked about a lot of things including what kind of building is ideal, who around town could give me advice, what kind of pricing structure to consider, etc. But the most important thing we talked about was community. Community is the backbone of any coworking space no matter how it begins or how it evolves. Ken recommended that before I even consider investing in a building, …

I have officially surveyed what will be a perfect space for The Green Asterisk Coworking. I know it's a little early in the game to be thinking I've found the one, but, really... I think I've found the one. It's owned by a friend of a friend who used to use it as the home base for his manufacturing business. After expanding and moving out of it, he held onto it for a long time knowing he wanted to do something "cool" with it, but not sure what. When I came around with designs on a coworking and event space, our mutual friend knew that our visions would align perfectly. And they do!

The space is roughly 3,000 sq feet and the owner is so excited to be a part of the space himself that he's willing to make deals that other landlords wouldn't so readily offer. So we've been emailing back and forth about how the offices should be built out and I think we're getting close to finalizing floorplans before construction can begin.

There was an idea to bring together the greatest entrepreneurs Tampa had to offer and put them in the same building. Okay, so many other people have also had that idea. That's not the point. The point is I'm having this idea right now. And it's been swimming around in my head for a while. When I started working in Tampa, I worked at Tampa Bay Wave, a co-working space that, when I started, was housed in the Sykes building and contained and produced a number of successful startups. It now has locations on Kennedy and Channelside. I was only there for the Kennedy location before I moved on and started working from home.

Working from home is great, don't get me wrong. I love the freedom it affords and, as I have just moved into one of Tampa's brand new premier apartment complexes, I have a beautiful place to get my job done. The Pearl offers a business center where I can print things, highspeed, reliable Internet where I can check the tweets, and spacious lounges with…
